Curator’s note

Achilles opened its second room here in September 2017, in the Financial District, and when COVID hit it was one of the company's three cafes, all of which stayed open through the pandemic. Chad Bell has finished 18 marathons, an Ironman among them, and trains in jiu-jitsu, and the company's warrior ethos is about fueling that kind of active, driven life.

The Coffee

The tea side runs from Three Sisters, ceremonial matcha with lemonade, to the Torrey Pines, a berry or Assam tea sweetened with lavender under a rose cold foam. The Guatemala on the shelf, El Mirador from Huehuetenango, is a washed lot of Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí and Maragogype grown at 2,000 meters.

The Vibe

The room is a courtyard: benches and shaded tables at the foot of the residential tower overhead, with the city streets running past the edge of it. The shop calls the space its way of pulling the neighborhood together, and since it is outdoors the shade and the seating do the work walls and lighting do elsewhere.
